Marian rules! Her speech on the stand was fantastic, especially when she made Kendall cry.

Zach's justification for Kendall nearly killing Adam annoys me; it's okay to commit murder if you're grieving? I so hope everyone's wrong about Annie and I want to see Zach, Erica and Ryan apologize to her.

Annie playing diva at Adam's supposedly was funny according to the background music, but it fell flat for me. Also, was that the first time we ever saw Lucretia?

I prefer Marisa with Scott over her & JR so I found myself distracted during their outdoor scenes by the shirtless guys tossing a football in the background.

I am just catching up on eppys.

Steve covers a lot of it for me above, though don't care for Marissa in any situation. Regarding the scenes at the pool, I am a lesbian and *I* was distracted by the pool boy hotties playing beachball or frisbee or whatever during Mabe and Jr.'s convos (and again too with the pool fun behind Colby and JR).

Marian,/JM! Damn. Now that was some good soapy fun. :wub: She really worked some emotions someone onscreen needed to profess and much of AMC viewership needed to hear. Sing it, Sister!

As much as I think AM has done a really terrific job in her dramatic scenes of late, I just didn't feel much when Marian was going off on Kendall to her face. That should have been one of Kendall's (who is supposedly reacting out of a guilty conscience anyway) MOST painful moments for this story. AM could barely muster a tear when looking directly in her murder victim's grieving widow's face. Even if you don't mean it Kendall, you could work up a few tears for the judge's sake who is about to sentence you. Unfeeling or not smart no matter how you look at it.

Zach blaming Adam was just *head banging* but just par for the course at this point. Zach less annoying than usual.

Erica seemed like Erica today, Lucci was fantastic. I enjoyed Ryan with her.

Annie is being written all over the map, but even with that handicap, MCE captures my attention. Annie and Adam working together as equals against those in the Valley would be cool. I am don't want it to be about her playing him with Adam being unwitting and/or a victim.

Angie, Angie, Angie, oh how I love my Angie with the gears turning. :) She's on *to**it*. Watch out, Jesse and Randi. I loved all her scenes. Enjoyed Frankie with her, Natalia and Randi, even Randi and Madison.

I enjoyed this episode. It felt very tight to me, the courtroom drama built nicely. Marissa/JR/Colby scenes were unecessary, imo.

Great episode. Agreed on Erica and La Lucci. Those Erica/Kendall scenes were great.

The Hubbard scenes were great too. Loved how they cut back and forth between Angie/Frankie and Natalia/Randi.

Jennifer Bassey. My goodness. Her scenes are a throwback to the good old days. I really wish we get to see more of her despite what's coming up. Plus I want to see more Liza/Marian scenes.

Kate Hall rocks. Give her a promotion already.

    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.
